I won't get to work on it until sat as I have two engine rebuilds due on Friday and a AC prowler throttle cable, Cv shaft, and have to get the mud out of the rear diff. My stuff is ALWAYS last!!

Good news is I don't think it's the turbo as it has near zero movement in the shaft, in the process of deleting the flame heater now, got most of it removed and have to read about what to do with the supply line from the IP.

This time of year, I ALWAYS get random leaks on my MVs, and those that I've overhauled for customers get returned around this same time of year for random leaks also. When springtime hits, and the weather warms up, the leaks generally tend to disappear until next January. Cold spells have been common this winter, and cause all kinds of funky problems with these older vehicles.

Take Gimp's advice and go run your truck hard; it will blow out a lot of residual crap and get everything nice & settled in once everything warms up.
